Would you like:  a 15-minute assessment test that determines which K-3 students will need extra assistance with reading?  to identify those students before failure sets in?  a test that identifies each student's problem area?  test results that include suggestions for intervention? We think you'll like Predictive Assessment of Reading (PAR). When you can predict the future, you can intervene appropriately. The Predictive Assessment of Reading (PAR) test is quick, simple, effective, “teacher friendly” test that assesses reading proficiency for students in grades K-3 and accurately predicts each child's overall future reading level through the 8th grade. Some advantages of PAR include: Immediate Recommendations Identifies young at-risk students Identifies skills needing priority attention Indicates intensity of instruction needed Other Benefits Immediate individual results printed from a secure web site Classroom, grade, school and district results available Easily administered in 15 minutes by classroom teachers or specialists Training for test administrators in less than 2 hours
